The chances are that she will be purchased by San Francisco parties and resparred. It is very doubt- ful whether she can be got under tne American flag. The hull is said to be only slightly damaged and spars, sails, rig- ging, anchors and chain do not count when it comes to repairing a vessel for an American registry. A c: in point is that of the British ship Willscott. She put in here disma nd was later sold to John Rosenfeld’s Sons, who repaired_and put her under the Nicaraguan flag. Later she got a Hawalian registry and came under the American flag with annexation. The Otto Gildemeister was formerly the British ship Zemindar. She is 2009 tons net burden and was built in 1885 by Har- land & Wolff of Belfast. She is 292 feet 6 inches long, 39 feet 7 inches beam and 23 feet 5 inches deep. She was sold to the Germans last vear by T. and J. Brockle- bank of Liverpool. She was on her way to the coast from Yokohama when she was caught in a typhoon and dismasted. Reinsurance on her went as high as % per cent and now that she has been con- demned there seems to be a doubt as to Whether the gamblers will get money. It is a knotty question and will have to be settled in a court of law. There was not much money risked on the vessel in San Francisco. il S T Accident to the Hawaiian. The big steamship Hawaiian had a nar- row escape while on her way here from New York. While entering the harbor of Saint Lucia she struck on a rock. As she made no water it was thought the damage was slight. When the vessel arrived here she was discharged and placed on the drydock. It was then dis- covered that there was a dent fourteen feet long by ten feet wide that will re- quire the removal of five plates and seven frames to repair. Luckily the damage was over a water tank. Had it extended seven inches farther aft the Hawailan would have filled and sank. New Floating Dock Building. A new floating dock for Spear street is being built at Hunters Point for the Cal- ifornia Dry Dock Company. It will cost $120,000 and _ will be 270 feet long and 85 feet wide. It will be completed and in po- sition next September. NEWS OF THE OCEAN. Matters of Interest to Mariners and Shippings Merchants.

Still Alarm Is Felt With Good Reason at Lower Towns. CINCINNATI, April'23.—While the Ohio River is reported to-night as falling, from Pittsburg to the mouth of the Big Kan- ahwa, almost 300 miles, there is still much distress from that point to Cincinnatl, about 200 miles. The weather bureau still predicts that the limit will be reached to- morrow and there will be still less trouble below the city. While alarming reports come from Portsmouth, Huntington, Cat- lettsburg and intermediate pBints to-night, the weather bureau says the outlook is really encouraging and the beginning of the end will reach Cincinnati to-morrow, when the stage will not exceed 58 feet. The Big Sandy and other lower tributa- ries are falling, as well as the head waters. The most encouraging news to-day came from Point Pleasant, where the river be- came stationary and later reports show that it is falling as far down as Marletta and Parkersburg. In some of the smaller places bells were rung, cannons fired and Jollification meetings held when the sta- tionary stage was reached. Preparations are being made for demonstrations of re- joicing throughout the Pomeroy Bend to- morrow. Pomeroy, Middleport and other laces in, that district have been badly nundated, and hundreds of families driven from their homes. The railroad stations at these places were under water and the offices moved to higher ground. Since the crest has passed there is great alarm at Ashland, Ironton, Huntington, Portsmouth and other lower points, where the crest of the flood is now passing and where false reports have been circulated about another rise. One of these reports was that there had been a cloudburst up the Big Sandy, seriously affecting Cat- lettsburg. The flood had caused the nat- ural gas pipe line supplying this place to burst and the people were left without light or fuel there. The large rolling mills and factories at this place were compelled to shut down for the same reason. From that point to Cincinnati the rise fluctu- ates from one-tenth of an inch in some hours to almost three-tenths in other hours, and when it increased to-night there was renewed alarm at Ironton and Portsmouth and points opposite them. The weather bureau here, however, re- ports to-night that a second rise is not threatened, and that the flood continues ;:i)l pass out of the Ohio* Valley more rap- y. — The Daintiest Picture Framing.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 23.—Detectives have been working all day at the scene of the daring trajn robbery on the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf road near Iron Moun- tain Crossing, Ark., at an early hour to- day, but so far no arrests have been made. It is stated by an official of the Wells- Fargo Express Company that the bandits secured less than $300. It is suspected that the men who per- petrated the robbery were in Memphis last night. A short time before the west- bound train over the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis left the Calhoun- street station, at 8:30 o’clock last night, two men approached the ticket window and asked for tickets to Bridge Junction. Ticket Agent Coltart and ight Agent Washington were on duty at the time. They declined to sell the tickets to that place, as no trains stop there. The men insisted on buying tickets, both apparently anxious to board the outgoing Kansas City train. They stated that tickets were wanted for several persons. The supposition is that the robbery was planned to_take place at Bridge Junction and that the robbers were the men who wanted tickets to that point last night, their purpose being to go to Bridge Jun tion on the Kansas City train at 8:30 o'clock and wait for the coming of the Choctaw express, which reaches Bridge Junction about 12:08 a. m. % General Agent Longacre of the Wells- Fargo Express Company, who went to Hurlbert, near the scene of the robbery, on the outgoing train this morning, returned this afternoon. He said that every effort was being made to apprehend the bandits and that orivate detectives and special agents of the railroad and express com- pany were engaged on the case. Owing to the bottoms being overflowed he does not think the bloodhounds will be able to trail the robbers. The Wells-Fargo Ex- press has a standing reward which will apply in this case. Mr. Longacre thinks the robbery was the work of seven men. 1506 Market Street.

BARI, Italy, April 23.—Signor Luzzattl, the former Minister of the Treasury, de- livered an important speech to-day on the commercial relations between Italy and | other countries. Referring to the United States, he said the provisions of the treaty of commerce between France and the United States, if they had been approved by Congress without an equivalent un- derstanding with Italy, would have driven Italy out of the American market. A kind of universal fury was spreading in the United States, where, he deflared, the fruit growers of California and Florida had forbidden their Government granting the slightest facilities to Italy in treaties between Italy and the United States. Signor Luzzatti alluded to the Agrarian protectionist demands in France, Ger- many, Austria-Hungary and Switzerland and agked: ‘“Must we resign ourselves to our fdte or defend ourselves, and how shall we defend ourselves? I shall an- swer these questions at the agricultural meeting to be held in Florence in May, but I am inclined to believe that the voice of the Agrarians is not that of their Gov- ernment.” TO FIND YOUR SUMMER CAMP Go on the Excursion to the Santa | Cruz Mountains May 5.

PETERSBURG, Monday, April 22.— Local speculation concerning the visit here of M. Delcasse, the French Minister of Forelgn Affairs. is apparently not formed from authentic reports. One ver- sion, which iIs told with the greatest posi- tiveness in spite of its inherent improb- ability, is to tbe effect that the French Government has received from an wun- named source what purported to be a %lan for a British-German war against rance, supposedly in some colonial dis- trict. M. Delcasse, it is added, communi- cated the contents of the plan to the Rus- sian Embassador at Paris, Prince Curouseff, who, however, laughed Inered- ulously, pronouncing the project a hoax. M. Delcasse is said to have been not sat- isfied and to have wired Count Lams- dorff, the Russion Foreign Minister, ask- ing if it would be agreeable for him to come to St. Petersburg and discuss the matter. Count Lamsdorff consulted with the Emperor. who gave an affirmative reply. M. Delcasse has presented Count Lamsdorff with the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honor. Count Lamsdorff entertained M. Dei- casse at dinner to-day. The French Em- bassador, the Marquis of Montebello, and the chiefs of the French embassy and members of the French staff were pres- | ent. The French Embassador will give M. Delcasse two official dinners during | his stay here, to one of which literary celebrities will be invited. M. De Witt: the Russian Minister of Finance, will also entertain M. Delcasse at dinner. It is understood that the Czar will receive | the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, but_will not invite him to dinner. BERLIN, April 23.—Discussing M. Del- casse's visit to St. Petersburg, the Na- tional Zeitung remarks that “the common action of France and Germany in_the present expedition gave offense to Rus- sia.” P. C.
